Inventor 2011 V 2012

[Anonymous]

I managed to write some code in Inventor 2011 to produce a part which left the part finished (as after clicking 'Finish Sketch' when making a part normally) using ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit and Go Home commands.  Now when I run the same code in 2012 it stops before finishing the code and I have to obviously click Finish Sketch to complete the part.  Is there a way round this. I think Ive seen messages saying certain things arent supported in 2012 which seems a shame..  Kind Regards Dave F

I have not an idea that how you can use the ActiveView.Fit and Go Home command to exit the sketch edit mode, but you can use below sample code to exit the sketch edit mode:

    Dim oActiveObj As Object
    Set oActiveObj = ThisApplication.ActiveEditObject
    
    If oActiveObj.Type = kPlanarSketchObject Then
        oActiveObj.ExitEdit
    End If

Hi Rocky. Many Thanks for that, yes it did end the sketch process ( in 2012 ! ).  I was just looking at an example in the programming help which I hope I can tweak  regarding sketch edit orientation as I would like to orient the finished part so I can see a 'three quarter' view.  Kind Regards Dave
